Southwest Regional Two Year College Physics Faculty Enhancement Program

这一为期两年的项目旨在成为大学教授和优秀的两年制大学物理教员之间合作关系的典范，共同为美国西南部的两年制大学物理教职员工提供专业的在职充实培训。该计划侧重于物理研究的最新发展，创新的物理教学方法，以及招收当地少数民族学生进入两年制大学理工科项目的成功技巧。该计划包括每年5月在德克萨斯农工大学举办的学院、学年后续研讨会、参与者的本地项目，以及工作人员对参与者校园的访问。

This two-year program is designed to serve as a model for the utilization of cooperative relationships between university professors and outstanding two-year college physics faculty members working together to provide professional inservice enrichment training for two-year college physics faculty in the Southwestern United States. The program focuses on recent developments in physics research, innovative physics teaching methods, and successful techniques for recruiting local minority students into two-year college science and engineering programs. The program includes an annual May Institute at Texas A&M University, academic year follow-up workshops, local projects by participants, and staff visits to participant's campuses.
